Keep working at it kid and eventually you will land a gig with an attitude like yours. Hell Id give him a shot if I had anything.
You know - - - giving the kid a break and letting him know that he might not be proficient in 14 different aircraft at 350+ hours are two different things.
People who think they are proficient try things in airplanes that they ought not try sometimes.
How about instead of feeding this fallacy, someone give the 'kid' a bit of what might be called 'aviation truth' and let him know that his attitude can actually be dangerous in aviation.
I see a person who think he is proficient in 350 hrs in 14 different aircraft being the person who think he knows everything there is to know about flying in a 1,000 hrs. Are you going to tell me that you disagree with the 'learning something new throughout your career' thought process Champeen07?

Truth. I've made that statement before on these boards when listening to what drop zones were paying!
